The GAZETTE is now the Oldest paper

The GAZETTE is now the oldest paper in
the State, and with few exceptions the old.
est in the country, and its usefulness has
been demonstrated and appreciated during
the EIGHTY. SEVEN YEARS ofita existence. In
its columns has always been found mirror
of passing events, and the careful chrOn.
cling of the history of what is going on in the
world has ever been its aim. 1t is always
welcomed in the household, while in the
counting room and workshop it has become
invaluable.
Alexandria gazette. [volume] (Alexandria, D.C.) 1834-1974, 1887-05-21

The GAZETTE has better facilities for Oh
tanning news than any paper outside of the
national capital Situated as it is so Gloss
to the great centre of news, it enjoys daily
the benefit of the Associated Press dis
patches from every part ofthe world hence
its patrons can read from its columns in the
evening what has transpred that day in
every portion of our own domain as well a.
from every part of the habitable globe.
Consequently it is an every day occurrence
for the GAZETTE to publish kilograms from
the various European capitals twelve and :
fifteen hours earlier than the morning pa
pers.
Another feature that serves to make the
GAZETTE great desideratum with mer
chants is its afternoon market reports from
New York, Baltimore, Chicago and other
centres.
The local department furnishes full and
complete history of everything that occurs
in and near the city, and this featuro will,
as ever, receive careful attention.
Correspondence from Washington, Rich
mond and every section of thesate, is pub.
lished regularly, and all events of interest
occurring within the bounds of the Com
monwealth arc TO he found in the columns
of the GAZETTE.
The GAzETTE's circulation is steadily ia
oreasing. especially among people who con.
suit its advertising columns before purchss.
ing. That this is self-evident may be infer
red from the fact that large country edi.
as large as the daily--is sent
all over this sec.ion OF country three times
a week, and is read by thousands, most of
whom send here Or to contiguous cities to
make purchases. The advantages of adj
7ertisng in the GAZETTE are, therefore, APP
parent.

Boys ON AN Ice Boat.
HOW THEY WERE RUN AWAY WITH AND THEIR RESCUE
By YOUNG WOMAN.

By YOUNG WOMAN.
Nyack Letter In New York Times.
story is related here this evening Of the un-
pleasant adventures Of two boys ON anice boat q
few miles below this place to-day. Their names
are Clarence McMurtry and Henry English, aged
respectively twelve and fourteen years. ssThey
went out on an iceboat for sail" said the nara
tor OF the story, 'wtthout any knowledge OF how
to manage their craft, and it lisa wonder they did
not lose their lives. After they hosted their sail
they sped before the wind at q rapid rate and ap-
parently all was well for q time. Suddenly the
boys noticed short distance ahead OF them an
opening in the ice, but not being able to turn the
boat they went straight ahead. Young McMurtry
jumped on and turned over ON the ice q number OF
times. but the other boy chung TO the craft and
was carried over into the water with it.
"He would have lost his life" continued the mar
rat0r, chad It not been for young lady who was
near the Ice along shore. When she saw the flrst
boy jump on she was startled, but recovered her
presence OF mind at once, and going quickly out
90 near the edge OF the water, only q short dis
lance away, she unw0und comforter which she
had on and threw one end 70 where the boy was
struggling In the water. He was becoming faint, "
said the gentleman, ebut the pronered assistance
forter, when the lady and his companion hauled
him out He was taken 70 Q house close BY,
warmed and given some dry clothes. When he
reached home think be WaS warmed over more

although startling to those around him, has not
been unforeseen by his immediate friends, and it

Lord Iddesleigh was taken III and whiIe the doc

Special Dispatch to The EVENING STAR.
ALBANY, Jan. 13.-Mr. Levi p. Morton arrived
here at 1 O'Clock this afternoon and an enthusiast
tic greeting like that given Senator Miller on his
arrival last night awaited him. His headquarters
were thronged and for the time those Of Miller
were deserted.
The only positive change in the situation In
nearly two days were the capture OF two HiscOck
men yesterday by Mr.. Miller. Mr. HiscOck now has
IS votes in hand, and claims that ne
HOLDS THE KEY TO THE SITUATION.
1t Is apprehended with reason that some OF the
politicians in his camp are there for carrying as
much Of his strength as possible to Miller after one
or two ballots. This project IS being carefully
guarded against.
The three Erie county members hold a confer
ence at four to decide on their course OF action.
Miller and Morton are so close together that the
action OF the Erie men
WILL GIVE MORTON AN ACKNOWLEDGED LEAD
over Miller. They are said to be against Miller,
and are waver1ng between Morton and Hiscock.
Should they go to HiscOck the Miller canvass must
go to pieces.
The strain on all three columns is intense, and
many believe that there will be q break before
sunday and no contest In the caucus.
